About me: Would you believe that I'm an Eagle Scout? I fear my fate is to become a tertiary character in a badly written cyberpunk novel. I'm friendly, upbeat and optimistic, except when I'm cynical, pessimistic and solitary. Some people don't get my jokes, but I'm not telling jokes for them--my specialty is gallows humor. I sometimes become obsessed, but I can also be fickle. I think I'm very moral, except in the terms of modern morals. I pick socio-political fights. I talk too much. I can be pedantic, which sometimes comes off as condescending (which I'm *usually* not trying to be). I want more bookshelves. I haven't forgotten where I came from. I end sentences with prepositions just to piss off people with English degrees. I need an editor. I don't know when to give up--I've wasted to much blood, sweat and tears on lost causes.
My blog and livejournal strive to mimic each other.
If you want to "FRIEND" me, and we aren't friends already, maybe you should try sending a message or two first.
Comments from my detractors:
"The biggest, smelliest snarliest hyena is FLINT. Him and his platformist jackals will pull down ANYONE who stands up to their offal eating and cannibalistic cretinistic 'trotskyism without illusions.' Cowards hunt in packs and refuse responsibilty, they should have no place here. Flint is running an uneven, unjust and unfair policy that is the opposite of 'moderation'. Flint is a failure, a bitter nasty trollike creature of darkness.
"Getting back to Flint, here we had a political fanatic with a very shallow understanding of Nietzsche and philosophy...... Researching Flint's writings on the Internet, I see the writings of a person with a very feeble understanding of philosophy, society and what it takes to change the world. I see a very angry person without depth and whose compassion for others is completely void. Had I researched his writings at that time, I would have quickly distanced myself from him."
"YOU IGNORANT JACKASS. Start checking your facts. Start putting in even the smallest amount of effort in trying to present a thoughtful perspective on any subject. People like you, regardless of ideology, do damage to the very idea of intelligent discourse. I am through being civil with you. I believe in freedom without condition not enslavement to the society. That is the real true fundamental difference between you and I on a philosophical world. You still believe in slavery and I never will. You have no grasp of ideas. Those criminals that you despise so much are rooted much closer to your philosophy than they are to mine. You're damn right you hit a nerve because for all of your moral indignation you just want to be a slave owner at the basest level. Except that everyone would be a slave, and their master would be "the community."
"Flint is petty, ignorant, and not to be taken seriously."
ALL OUT TO CLEVELAND, OH FOR THE 14th ANNUAL ANTI-RACIST ACTION NETWORK CONFERENCE!
What: The 14th Annual Anti-Racist Action Network Conference When: October 11-13 2008 Where: Cleveland, OH Who: You!
During the weekend of October 11th, the Anti-Racist Action Network will be holding its 14th annual conference in Cleveland, OH. All ARA chapters and other dedicated anti-fascists are invited to attend the 2008 conference.
The conference, taking place over 3 days, will include ARA's annual plenary, caucuses and discussion on current issues facing antifascists. Various workshops and several social events are also planned. Organizations will be tabling all weekend as well.
Please note that only Network affiliated chapters will have voting privileges during the plenary, and only vouched antifa may attend the plenary. If you are a part of a non-affiliated chapter or collective that wants to become affiliated with ARA-NET, please see the organizers as soon as you arrive. All friends of ARA are welcome and encouraged to participate in the rest of the weekend.
We are envisioning this conference as a gathering of all dedicated anti-fascists -whether in Anti-Racist Action or not - and would like to see this year's conference include as many people and new ideas as possible.
If you are new to anti-fascism, please come and learn from our experience (and help us open our eyes to new possibilities);
If you are a former member, please come and get back in touch with us;
If you are an unaffiliated chapter - for whatever reason - come to the conference, meet other antifascists and take the opportunity to learn more about ARA-NET and what benefits there are to being a part of the Network.
Over the next few weeks, we will be confirming the details of the conference and will send out a registration form and more specific details. For now, please mark the date on your calendar and plan to join us in Cleveland for o
